Artist: American Royalty
Video: 'Matchstick'
Highlight: "We always bend our songs around a little bit when we play live, experimenting here and there with bridge and breakdown additions, sometimes adding an entirely new segment to a song that then forever stays part of our live world," vocalists Billy Scher and Marc Gilfry tell Spinner. "'Matchstick' was the result of one of these experimental wanderings that we decided to record. We've been hoping to work with artist Jeff Scher for quite some time now, and were thrilled when he decided to animate a video for 'Matchstick,' because we thought the psychedelic nature of the song would pair well with Jeff's art. After seeing the outcome, we can't imagine a better way to visually communicate what the soul of the song is all about."

"I wish I played piano my whole life but at the same time, I don't think I'd be where I am, coming at it backwards from a post-modern aesthetic shows in my music -- and I'm glad to be where I am, regardless," Paul Salva, creator of the surprise hit 'Complex Housing,' a fusion of abstract hip-hop, funk, Detroit techno and old school house, tells Spinner.

As a Chicago-native and child of the '80s, the former turntablist who goes under the moniker Salva owes a lot of his fan appeal to dissolution of musical boundaries over the past decade. Less stylistic limitations means a potentially wider appeal and a more open-minded audience.

"It's the cornerstone of me being able to be an artist; it's unlikely that I'll get negative online reviews from fans that like [LA] beat music because I write a straight, dark house tune."

Jamie Oliver is a chef, but recently he's been touted as a treasure hunter. According to NME, the celebrity cook has found master tapes from several Joy Division and New Order sessions in a Manchester, England basement.

Oliver and crew stumbled upon the literal treasure trove while excavating an old Midland bank, readying the building for the chef's brand new restaurant.

And what was alongside the old tapes? How about a cache of guns, gold and jewelry. Not bad for a day's work.

Whitney Houston was a gem, a true talent the likes of which grace us only now and again. Her rendition of the 'Star-Spangled Banner' brought the house down, moved many to tears and made hearts glow with patriotic joy. In fact, she was winsome enough to fell the heart of Osama bin Laden, former leader of militant terrorist organization al-Qaeda, and American public enemy number one. Despite being capitalist pigs, at least we had Whitney going for us.

According to poet Kala Boof, who reportedly lived with the terrorist mastermind on a Moroccan estate in 1996, bin Laden frequently spoke of his undying love for the singer. "He said that he had a paramount desire for Whitney Houston," Boof wrote in a 2006 memoir for Harper's Bazaar. "He spoke of someday spending vast amounts of money to go to America and try to arrange a meeting with the superstar."We are not sure if this trip to America would have been in concert with his jihad plans, or if he was willing to table the whole holy war thing to get him some Whitney.

The original lineup of Guns N' Roses -- Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan and Steven Adler -- will be on site at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony which will be held on April 14 in Cleveland.

Keyboardist Dizzy Reed, who is the longest-tenured member of the current incarnation of Guns N' Roses besides Axl himself, shared the good news in a new interview with Billboard (via our metal bros at Noisecreep).

"I know that all the original band is going to be there," Reed revealed. "I don't know exactly what's going to go down. It's one of those things I'm sure will all come together and be really cool. I'm just going to go in with a good attitude and a clear head and a grateful heart."

Other ex-Gunners, like guitarist Gilby Clarke and drummer Matt Sorum, who replaced Stradlin and Adler, respectively, will also be on hand.

Happy Valentine's Day from Jack White.

The pale musical mastermind has premiered the video for his new single, 'Love Interruption,' in time for the holiday. Like all things Jack, it's a bit odd but pretty cool.

Considering the lyrics -- "I want love to walk right up and bite me/grab a hold of me and fight me, leave me dying on the ground" -- this is exactly the most romantic track, but White still manages to pull off some sensuality with singer Ruby Amanfu.
